I love the fresh new theory from the FB page about drinking...which was discussed here from the get go and I think even on that page.  Gawd.....why are they so bad at this game?

The trip is still the thing that makes the most sense to me, but I did have a thought along the same lines as FKFriday about her having a break down.  My conspiracy was that she went to rehab.  Sometimes I feel like that would explain her lack of preparation and follow through.  I know that is not it, but the thought did cross my mind.

Interesting, but aren't there legal protections for employees in drug/alcohol rehab programs?  If she was fired for that reason, I think she'd have a case for a wrongful termination lawsuit.

I think just talk.

Just to mix up the conversation, do we think she is an actual alcoholic, or just exaggerating? I've literally never heard a non-alcoholic talk so incessantly about needing to drink ALL THE TIME.

 
I think it is exaggerated a bit...I think she thinks it makes her sound cool.

 
I've often thought this too, but also like girl...you're not 22. That's not cute or funny anymore. (I mean smashed and sloppy was never a good look, but you get my drift!)

I'm not sure, but I do know that in my group of friends (ages 26-38) we have the full spectrum of drinkers - some drink a lot, some almost never drink, but none of them talk about it like she does. Its definitely odd.

Since I'm not cool enough to be her friend IRL like Mary4Names and C3, I obviously don't know her life outside of radio, but from what she's said on air it sounds like she lives a very unhealthy lifestyle. As I understand it, Klonopin is a pretty serious sedative that she says she takes every night, and she says she drinks every night, so that's kind of concerning, and I think she's mentioned popping Xanax and some other stuff sometimes too. And we know she doesn't exercise. IMO she should spend a little less energy on BS self improvement pursuits with Carin and work on some more tangible things like cutting back on the drinking/pills.
 

 
Right! Take this forced down time and get your eating habits in check; go for walks; visit the fitness center in your apartment building.

I'm certainly not a doctor, but doesn't Klonopin seem a little extreme for hemhorroids? I've currently got a torn rotator cuff and a handful of other issues in my shoulder that I'm having surgery for in December and all they gave me is Tylenol with Codeine. 

ETA I just googled and Klonopin is used for treating anxiety/panic/seizures and is in the benzo group of meds, so I doubt she's getting it for the 'roids. Also says very dangerous if mixed with alcohol. 😬

Definitely! I'm not anti-booze or anything, and it's almost not even the excessive amount that she talks about. It's almost more that the way she talks about alcohol is like she needs it like every second of the day. And the pills are on a whole other level...Klonopin is not meant for long-term use and DEF shouldn't be mixed with alcohol!! That's how people die accidentally, that shit will slow your respirations down to nothing...

I am with the camp of the Turks trip being the reason she was fired. All signs point to that, but there is one other thing in the back of my mind. When she was talking about the Harvey Weinstein scandal, she mentioned a few times, including on her last show with Lori, that there's another powerful guy in the business who she predicts will be next. Lori didn't want to go there with her, but I'm almost certain I know who she was talking about. In the back of my mind, I'm wondering if she got in trouble for even alluding to this man. Anyone else catch that?

 
Nice theory, starfish! I must've missed that- care to elaborate who you think she was talking about?? Now I'm intrigued!

I think it was prescribed to her as a sleep aid, and she'd use it on nights she couldn't sleep due to the hemorrhoids or anxiety. It is sometimes prescribed as a sleep aid but is definitely a powerful drug and should absolutely not be combined with alcohol. I get the sense her excessive alchohol consumption is a form of self-medication for anxiety. She mentioned a few weeks ago starting to go to a psychiatrist again, and I was happy for her when I heard that!

I'm not going to say the name, but you should be able to figure it out with these clues: One of the main guys on a network morning show. Her partner in the Turks trip used to work on the show, and sometimes Lori appears on the show.

I heard her mention this and had no idea who she was referring to at the time. Now that I think i know, it does seem like it could have influenced a decision. I still think the trip is more likely but this is a more scandalous theory. Thanks for the clues!
 

No prob La Croix. Probably worth mentioning the guy I'm thinking of is good friends with Howard (I used to listen to him before I found wake up) and does have an affiliation with Sirius. He has been rumored to be involved with getting people fired from his own show in the past and wields a lot more power than Taylor.

Didn't she say Al Roker came off a little creepy when he came in?

I was thinking ML and I just googled him with HS.. holllllly cow this is a good theory starfish!
 

Anyone remember exactly what she said? Just wondering how easy it would be to say she was implying it was ML.
 

I don't remember exactly what she said. She was definitely trying not to give away who she was talking about, and she did not give it away. She stopped herself before she went too far. But she did say that she had a source and the source told her that this person would probably be the next man whose scandal would come out. Lori was uncomfortable and didn't want to talk about it. It was clear she and Lori had discussed the person (off air?) in the past, and she knew Lori didn't think he was involved in any scandal but Taylor knew for a fact he was.

Wasn't there a scandal a year or two ago that ML was having an affair with NM and that's why she moved to Cali? Also, I remember at one point his wife filed for divorce because of something like inhumane treatment, but later retracted it...

 
Yes, there was at least once instance in which his wife threatened divorce or separation over the years. Didn't he also have a thing going with Giada?

It's possible Turks boss lady blabbed to T about ml behavior. Do we know if Turks boss lady is still at Sirius? I couldn't find any info about her leaving. She just started there July 2016.

Tay did say she got Getting Younger gig thanks to her old boss (which was why Tay was hesitant to give old lawyer a cut of GY earnings).
